the Amiga, while we take a minute to remember what an Olympic performer the Amiga is! Last month I bemoaned the fact that this is summer and the living should be easy.

The latest engagement in this war was successfully fought by VIScorp executives as they rescued the Amiga from the dying grasp of ESCOM. It appears that ESCOM was not completely accurate with their losses and the figure continued to grow with each new calculation. The immediate remedy for this situation in Germany is to place the company in bankruptcy and see what can be salvaged. This occurred only days after VIScorp had finally come to an agreement with the management of ESCOM on the buy out of Amiga Technologies. V!Scorp believed that, since they had a deal, the deal should go through. But to make that happen, V!Scorp executives were forced to board a plane to Germany and spend the next several weeks chasing the matter through the hands of ESCOM, its banks, and the trustees. To many Amiga hands, this sounds way too familiar. With the long drawn out fight over Commodore's assets still fresh in all of our minds, it does not take a soothsayer to know that if the situation was to repeat itself, the Amiga's days would be numbered.
